I personally would never put a FH ford in anything it did not come in. I just don't care much for them, in my opinion they are a poor design, so many parts are hard to work on or not very well thought out.

Ever try to adjust the valves? If you do it according to the book it takes a good day, remove the intake and both heads, grind valve stems or cut seats.... Even with the new adjustable lifters it's no fun, and you still have to remove the intake.

Don't get me wrong now, I'll drive anything that runs, but a FH ford is an engine I'll never spend my money on.

Leave the FH in the race car, it probably looks swell there, and get a real engine for your truck.
